When the washer drains water right after taking it in, washing never really starts. The cause is usually the installation or the overflow protection.
Possible causes
- Drain hose fitted too low or pushed too deep into the drain
- Level sensor falsely reporting overfill
- Excess foam from too much detergent
- Board fault running the pump continuously
Safe first checks you can do
Safety: unplug the appliance and close the water tap before any check, and never open the outer casing or electronic boards yourself.
- Raise and secure the drain hose to the height in the manual
- Use less detergent, made for front-loaders

When do you need a technician?
If installation and detergent are fine and draining continues, the sensor or board needs checking.
